Hi,
I’m building an iOS app that will read from and write to NFC chips once scanned. I have the chip reader hardware but I don’t know the structure of reading and writing to the chip. My plan is to use mergBLM to pair the reader hardware to the app. I could use some help with that too. Maybe Monte could chime in on that part. Thanks in advance.

Re: Pairing and read/wrtie to a NFC chip
NFC only works on Android, Apple does not allow it for anything except its own Apple Pay.
However I've seen that they will consider allowing third-party apps to implement NFC later this year so watch for announcements, probably in the fall.
Edit: LC's current implementation does not include writing to the tag, only reading. You could put in a feature request for that.

Also, BLE is for Bluetooth which is different from NFC. Which one do you mean?

Re: Pairing and read/wrtie to a NFC chip
Hi Jacqueline,
The chip reader I have is bluetooth hence the need for mergBLE to pair. Yep, I saw the announcement that iSO 11 would support NFC.
I have an iPhone app that allows me to read/write to NFC chips thru the reader but I wanted to make some improvements. Just need to do some reverse engineering. I have UI working on my new app but missing the read/write and pairing parts. Thanks for the reply.
